Updated source code for ShipTrack 4.2.5 is Copyright © ShipTrack. All Rights Reserved.

If you would like to use the GetShipTrackCarriers and GetVersion functions I described, simply call them as UDFs in your Excel worksheet, i.e.

=GetShipTrackCarriers()

and

=GetVersion()

They may also be used in your VBA programs. If you are following the API code on the About page, simply substitute one of the methods above for the ShipTrack method.

GetVersion will return "ShipTrack 4.2.5".

GetShipTrackCarriers returns an array of carrier codes you can use with ShipTrack, so it must be array entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter and filled across columns. Ex: highlight cells A1:Z1, type =GetShipTrackCarriers() and press Ctrl+Shift+Enter. If you want to fill the carrier codes across rows, you will need to enter the formula like this: =transpose(GetShipTrackCarriers()).

1. New carrier: DHL

I dropped DHL support in 2009 when they stopped doing domestic U.S. shipping. Nobody mentioned it at all until now, when I suddenly received several requests for DHL tracking. With a fresh supply of tracking numbers, I was able to add them back. Thank you to everyone who contributed tracking numbers, I hope this update does not disappoint.

2. Two new functions: GetShipTrackCarriers and GetVersion

In addition to the existing ShipTrack function, there are two additional functions at your disposal.

GetShipTrackCarriers returns an array of carrier codes you can use with ShipTrack. For example, if you forget how to format the second parameter of the ShipTrack function call, this function exists to remind you. This function auto-updates as new carriers are added.

GetVersion returns the current version (ex: "ShipTrack 4.2.5") as a string for debugging purposes.

3. Volatility enhancements

The ShipTrack function had turned off UDF volatility, which led to various nuisances. For example, some users reported having to re-enter formulas to see updated tracking results. Also, this prevented VBA solutions in programs other than Excel from working.

To remedy this (and avoid disrupting existing formulas), a third (optional) parameter has been added. If you want the UDF to be volatile (i.e. re-run after every calculation event), add "true" as the third parameter. Ex:

=ShipTrack("1234567890", "ups", true)

I do not recommend using more than a couple of volatile ShipTrack formulas, as this will increase bandwidth (both yours and the target website) and slow down Excel (as each formula fetches data across the network with every single recalculation). It's possible that excessive fetching may cause your IP to be temporarily or permanently banned by the target website, resulting in denial of service.

Two new carriers were added – CMA-CGM and Safmarine. For both of these, the tracking number must be the Container number.

I have also corrected a minor FedEx issue, which was a side effect of the previous fix. The addin was returning the name of the person who signed for the package, but not the delivery date. Now it returns both.

Visit the Download page to get the update.

Please note that the source code download does not contain any of the new code from this or the previous update. As time permits I will upload the source code.
